My Sunday Stitchy Update 07/21/19

Well here go, we have another week with TWO finishes!

They are small but every finish counts. This week I decided that I would start my Christmas ornaments for the year. YES you heard me right, I decided that I should do them during "Christmas in July" instead of trying to jam it all in during the last two weeks of December again! LOL

Every year the members of my family that I stitch ornaments for get the same theme. First up is my niece Abby and she gets reindeers or Rudolph.

Finished 07/19/19

It accompanies the piece I made for her last year. 

I guess I should look and see if I have some more of that same fabric to finish it with. Then I stitched up Jacob's penguin ornament for the year.

His mouth and cheeks look funny but a little bit better in person.

So that is two down and two to go, maybe three. I am thinking of stitching one up for Jacob's BFF. Wonder if I can find out her favorite theme without letting her know why or maybe I should just "assign" her something. Decisions, decisions...

Thanks for taking a peek at my stitching

see ya next week with another faithful update!

Hi Friends!

I am still making Christmas ornaments! Hopefully I will be finished by Christmas? 😂


I ended last week working on Abby's reindeer and I left it here:

and I finished it!

First Stitch 12/09/18

Finished 12/11/18

It is in the mail and on its way to her! I was texting with her the other day and she showed me their tree with all the ornaments I have made her on it. It is nice to see they are appreciated!

I was also working on one of the two penguins for Jacob's ornament. Doing the second penguin will depend on how much time I have left after everything else. 

So anyways... here is where I was last week:

My Sunday Stitchy Update 12/09/18

This week I have been diligently working on my Christmas ornaments!

I started the week working on Jacob's ornament. He gets penguins each year.

Progress as of 12/08/18

I got thru half with one of the penguins on his ornament and decided I should be working on the one that needs to go in the mail! So I put his to the side and started one for Abby. Each year she gets a reindeer or a moose.

This one is in this years Just Cross Stitch Christmas Ornament magazine. There is another ornament that goes with this one and I will probably do that one for next year. 

I hope everyone else is working hard on their last minute Christmas projects!
